    A really great little store for vagabonds and/or map enthusiasts. Filled to the brim with books, globes and maps. The prices are more than reasonable and the selection unexpectedly good. It’s easy to walk out with a significantly lighter wallet, so be careful. And do, if you can afford it, buy one of those fantastic, handmade globes. They are brilliant. Only real drawback is that it’s a bit too small. A little more space would be great, but I understand it is expensive.

    I was sold a map that was mislabeled and thus was sorely disappointed when I opened my map and found that it was completely wrong! However, when I emailed the store about this, they immediately offered to ship me a new map, even though it was international! I received my new map in the mail a short time later. I was extremely impressed with their excellent customer service and will definitely be back at this fascinating store the next time I am in Stockholm.

  • 5/5 Staša Z. 9 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    An amazing book store with a lot of books about traveling. They also have two Stockholm murder mystery games that I absolutely recommend doing because they give you a chance to discover some details and things about Stockholm that you probably wouldn’t get a chance to see.

  • 4/5 Omkar J. 5 years ago on Google
    It seems a place worthy of buying Atlases, small and large scale maps of almost all the countries and lastly, several aspects of exploring Sweden e.g: Nautical maps, archipelago maps etc. What I liked the most was they had books with maps that have journey themes - railfannning, cycling, heritage/culture, running, coffee and wine places and so on. The staff was eager to help and efficient. What I eagerly expect from them is to have some material for amateur/aspiring cartographers who wish to learn creating, reading and interpreting maps, that would be a huge asset for them as well the buyers. They provide the option of fitting a map in a whiteboard but it's a permanent fix, you can't remove and replace it if you wish. On another note, most of the atlases and several books that you see here can be found(probably, older versions) in the stadsbibliotek ;), hence, make sure that you are buying something exclusive, unless you are bibliophile.

    Amazing store with the finest and biggest selection of map- and travel-related products. A perfect place to pick out a few Christmas gifts. Allow yourself a good long time in the store to just browse every item they sell - it's fun and I'm sure you'll find lots of thing that you want like I did. Also the staff are very kind as well!

    Amazing selection of maps even exotic ones like upside-down maps and other projections. I could spand hours there. The customer service was also great. They repackage my newly bought maps with ones I brought myself so that I only have one roll that I needed to bring with me to my flight.

    A place for maps, both Stockholm, Sweden and rest of the globe. You can also find nice gifts for everyone.
